AiLive Inc. (formerly iKuni) is a software company based in Mountain View, California, United States. The company was co-founded in 2000 by software programmer and developer Wei Yen and by computer engineer Xiaoyuan Tu.[1] The company has worked closely with Nintendo on the development of motion-sensing hardware, tools and software for the Wii video game console.

AiLive is responsible for the LiveMove series of products.[2][3] The system was introduced in 2006, using machine learning technology to facilitate the development of motion recognition packages for individual games. Developers were able to use the software to build classifiers from provided examples of specific motions to be included in each game. The LiveMove system was used for the development of games for the Wii.[4] Though initially released for professional developers of Wii games, the software was designed for use by independent developers as well, to expand the possibilities of the new console and Wii Remote interface.[2]
